Senior Platform Engineer | Kubernetes, Distributed Systems & SRE | Terraform, GitOps, Observability | AWS & Azure

About

Senior Software Engineer focused on platform engineering, with 5+ years of experience building and operating production cloud platforms, distributed systems and reliability tooling across enterprise SaaS, fintech and consumer products. At Unifize, I own shared platform capabilities for a multi-tenant SaaS serving 30+ enterprise customers, including multiple Fortune 500 companies. My work spans Kubernetes, Crossplane, AWS/AKS, Terraform, Argo CD and GitOps, OpenTelemetry-based observability, SLOs and incident readiness, FinOps, IAM and platform security. Previously at WYB, I helped operate a consumer platform serving 300K+ daily users and built a Go- and Kafka-based content moderation platform processing approximately 3K requests per second. The platform orchestrated multiple AI providers with provider fallback, retries and DLQ handling, autoscaling and a human-review feedback loop. Earlier in my career, I built PCI DSS and ISO 27001-aligned AWS infrastructure. Took care of compliance requirements ranging from Soc 2 Type 2 to ISO 27001. My strongest areas are: • Platform engineering and Kubernetes, developing IDP • Distributed and event-driven systems using Kafka, Debezium, Redis and PostgreSQL • SRE and observability using OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana, Tempo, Mimir and Loki • Infrastructure as code and delivery using Crossplane, Terraform, Helm, Argo CD and GitOps • Cloud architecture, security and cost optimisation across AWS and Azure I enjoy platform problems where reliability, developer experience, cost and security must be solved together.
